Doull Elementary School

Summary:

Doull Elementary School is a public elementary school in Denver, Colorado, serving 327 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of School District No. 1, which is ranked 78 out of 116 districts in Colorado and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Doull Elementary stands out with its significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (83.79%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 59.97% to 94.95% Hispanic. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 88.24% to 91.53% over the past three years, higher than most surrounding schools. However, Doull has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.9 to 12.8, lower than the ratios of 12.3 to 16.9 at nearby schools. Academically, Doull's performance on CMAS tests is generally lower than the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math for all grades at 29.4% and 36.8%, respectively, compared to the district's 40.7% and 31.2%, and the state's 44.1% and 34.2%.

Doull Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 667 out of 917 Colorado elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 562 out of 943 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's female students have consistently ranked lower than male students, indicating potential gender-based performance gaps. While Doull shares similarities with nearby schools, such as being part of the same district and serving a predominantly Hispanic student population, its higher percentage of Hispanic students and higher free and reduced lunch rates suggest the school may face unique challenges that could be addressed through targeted interventions and support programs.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
